Nobody disagrees with you. It would be very nice for the text-base to
be optional, or to be compressed, or to be able to be moved somewhere
outside the working copy for people who have trouble keeping their
tools from messing with it during recursive find/replace operations.
There are a lot of potential features related to the text base, and it
would be great if libsvn_wc could do all of them, but honestly, it's a
complicated bit of code, and this sort of change touches lots of
places in it, so until someone actually steps up to implement the
feature it's not likely to happen.
